8 Year Old Climbs Kilimanjaro To Help Cure Duchenne




An amazing 8 year old boy named Tyler Armstrong is the second youngest person to ever climb Mount Kilimanjaro. The Los Angeles native made this incredible journey with one purpose in mind: he wanted to raise money to help cure Duchenne, a type of Muscular Dystrophy. In an act of selflessness, Tyler set out on this quest after meeting another young boy suffering from the illness. He has already climbed California's Mount Whitney last year, setting a record for being the youngest person to ever do so and he doesn't have plans to stop any time soon.
